The Backpack Boys – Book 25: The Ruins

In the heart of Talisay City, Negros Occidental stands a mansion that refuses to be forgotten—the skeletal remains of what locals call The Ruins. Once a symbol of immense sugar wealth, it now rises quietly above the fields of Negros Occidental, its broken walls catching the light like faded memories that never fully disappeared.

When Gabriel and Simon arrive, they expect a simple heritage visit. Instead, they are drawn into unanswered questions buried beneath the estate’s history—fires that may not have been accidental, whispers of a sealed room no record ever mentions, and the silence of historians who know more than they are willing to say. As they walk through the hollow arches and sunlit corridors, the boys begin to realize the mansion is not just a relic of the past, but a place guarding something that was never meant to survive.

 

 Explore the sweetness of Negros Occidental—from the vibrant streets of Bacolod City to iconic spots like The Ruins.

Escapades History: Battle of Mactan – The First Recorded Battle on Philippine Shores (Book 3)

In 1521, on the shores of Mactan Island, one of the earliest recorded battles in Philippine history unfolded—an encounter that would shape the course of a global expedition and leave a lasting mark on the region’s historical narrative. This volume explores the events surrounding the Battle of Mactan, where the expedition led by Ferdinand Magellan met the resistance of local forces under Lapu-Lapu.

Through a carefully researched, non-fiction approach, this book examines the political landscape of the pre-colonial Visayas, the arrival of European explorers, and the decisions that led to conflict. Drawing from historical accounts, including the writings of Antonio Pigafetta, it presents a grounded retelling of the battle and its aftermath.

Escapades History: Book 3 goes beyond the clash itself, offering insight into early encounters between cultures, the complexity of local leadership, and the enduring significance of a moment where resistance met exploration on Philippine shores.
